Question 3: As you watch the video clip, notice the way that the teacher reinforces
beginning skills for both reading and writing. How does an activity such as interactive writing
help to improve the literacy skills of new readers and writers?
It allows the students to hear the individual sounds each letter makes in a word, as well as, how to correctly spell and write the letters for a model. Students in kindergarten do get to do invented spelling at times, but this activity is important because it teaches students how to correctly write items. This activity also practiced and placed emphasis on grammar, such as capital letters, spacing, and end punctuation.
